I think a lot of people get wrapped in the looks of an aftermarket piece and assume it's better because its bigger. I will admit that poly bushings can improve defelction some over rubber bushings but my point was that for road racing, GM already engineered suspension pieces that are more than good enough. You would gain more from taking track driving lessons than from swapping suspension components on these cars.
As I stated before the cradle lockout is a necessity for better performance except on the 1LE, the other parts not so much.

Hit anything hard enough at the wheel and your will most likely damage the suspension components.. aftermarket or OEM. The BMR pieces feel super stout and shouldn't deflect or bend under any normal or high performance application. The OEM stuff can be twisted and bent by hand. Now.. with stiffening up a bunch of components, well, the new weak link will present itself eventually I'm sure, lol.
I really only planned to do the cradle lockout which is the most important but then I was like... Well, I'll be in the general vicinity so I may as well do this part... And well if I do that one I might as well get this one... And then it kind of spirals out of control, lol.. not to mention I had a coupon code and wanted to stretch it's usefulness out as much as I could! [emoji23]
